The vocals came in so quick and caught me out, after the “long intro” share ! :rofl:
Like the period b&w video, tasteful. Reckon $26 would get you a pretty good hit back then, just saying !!

Fuzz was well worth breaking out if it lead to this cover. Covered it well in all departments. A cracking multi for sure.

That was brilliant! SBJ was cool too! Massive VU fan and Lou Reed/Bowie.
You captured the scene so well and nailed it.

I need a bass guitar, maybe one of those Bass VI’s would be sweet.

Hi Paul That looks like fun. Sounds Great. Velvet underground were I think as influential as the Beatles.

Everyone needs a bass … so much fun!

Cheers Will. I have to agree, so many other artists I admire cite the VU as a major influence.

Superb all-round production, Paul.
You ticked all the boxes on this one, incl. the visuals :open_mouth:
Bravo! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

That was cool Paul. You’ve got the Lou Reed vocal style down pat. Cool video too.

I listened to a bit of Velvet Underground in my teens. I found them by following the influences of bands I found in their CD liner notes and buying those albums. I can’t remember exactly how I found them, but it was probably Nirvana → Pixies → Velvet Underground.

When I started playing their songs my mum was surprised - she used to listen to them!

Thanks JK! Yeah, just so influential - although I’m too young to have been properly into them in their heyday.

Of course :slight_smile: Thanks for the listen/watch & kind words, was lots of fun to put together.

Well that’s certainly true!
